Gaming PC

[Okeas]

So, I'm tired of my old PC that I have and I want a new one and I want to build it. I want some input on what I should do, here are the specs that I have so far.

CPU: i5-8400
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370P D3
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
Memory: 2 8GB DDR4-2400
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB
PSU: Corsair TX650M 650W
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

I got the CPU cooler suggestion from my friend but I've read it's really not necessary and the stock one they give me is fine. Lemme know.

Give us a general price of the parts you have listed here, and give us your overall budget. We can’t do much without knowing your estimate.

 

[Okeas]

All of the prices I'm just doing amazon prices but I'll get those up in a second and my budget is about 1.5-1.75k

 

[Okeas]

All of this is in USD
GPU: 499.99
Motherboard: 129.95
Processor: 193.99
Storage: 247.99
Case: 99.58
PSU: 69.98
Memory: 130.83 (for both)
CPU Cooler: 34.99
Grand Total of 1,407.30
If you know of any other reliable websites with possible cheaper prices I'd love to hear about them.

more ram

 

[Frostburn]

The ram is good, but always has room for improvement. How many gigs does the 1070 have?

8 gigs

 

[Okeas]

The 2070 just came out so I'm probably going to do that instead of the 1070 so yeah, same price basically.

 

[Frostburn]

Yeah, the 2070 is a good choice and leave you open to a ton of games in the future. But the 1070 gets you a fortnite skin sooo 😂😂😂
*Joking BTW Fortnite big gay*

I recommend trying for a bit more ram if your motherboard can hold more, but try and get some other people’s input before getting parts

you could get a cheaper GPU for better

 

[Shepard]

i would get a stronger CPU. maybe a 8600k

 

[Shepard]

2070 is super over priced.

 

[Frostburn]

Yeah, I’d hold back on getting a really good graphics card for a bit until the prices drop a bit
